Tips to make Windows vista run fast

**Anilrgowda** · 18-Jan-2007, 04:48 AM

If your computer is running slowly, use
Task Manager to see the programs that
other logged-on users are running and how
much memory they’re chewing up. Task
Manager lists filenames (winword.exe, for
example) in the Image Name column and
program names (Microsoft Word) in the
Description column.
To find out which programs other
users are running:
1. Right-click an empty area of the taskbar
and choose Task Manager.
or
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
2. Click the Processes tab.
3. Click Show Processes from All Users
(Figure 1.3).
If a security prompt appears, type an
administrator password or confirm
the action.
✔ Tips
■ If Task Manager is missing its menus
and tabs, double-click the window border
to bring them back.
■ To identify the active user quickly, click
Start and read the user name in the top-
right section of the Start menu.
■ To log off another user, see “Logging off ”
later in this section.
■ Fast way to switch users: Right-click a
user name in Task Manager’s Users tab
and choose Connect or Disconnect from
the shortcut menu
